The Jewel Box: Resin Bangles March 27th, 2010 By

Seen everywhere: resin bangles.  After doing a little research on resin, I learned that it’s made from liquid plastic that turns solid when a hardener is added.  Jewelry is created with resin because of its versatility, lightness, and affordability.  As I browsed through beso‘s selection of resin bangles, I found a few that immediately caught my eye!
